The upcoming SKH Weekend has a lot to offer, especially if you plants, jazz and beer. For seafood and wine lovers there is also a great event to check out outside of Portland on the Oregon Coast in Newport. Don’t want to make the big drive to the Oregon beach? Perhaps a plunge in the frigid waters of the Columbia River might be just the ticket to make for a very memorable weekend. Enjoy!
